The hottest Indian export these days is sexy ‘n’ sassy comedian Vijai Nathan. Her one woman show, Give Them Vagina: Tips from Mom, Dad & COSMO, is a devastatingly funny takedown of her life as a single lady out on the dating scene.” (Title of show has been changed since first run, but awesomeness still the same). — Nevin Martell, Washington City Paper

SpeakeasyDC presents Comedian Vijai Nathan’s latest solo show as a reprise of the Cap Fringe 2010 smash hit with a new name  and a fresh touch. Nathan’s parents taught her how to be the perfect Indian wife, but COSMO made her want to be (and do) so much more. Experience hilarious, titillating & true tales about the trials and tribulations of learning about sex, beauty, and pleasing your man.
